Ending Homelessness with God's Love

2016 Christmas Outreach Served Thousands


Your Support Brought Joy to Thousands

The 2016 Christmas Outreach of the Miami Rescue Mission | Broward Outreach Centers, with the help of nearly 500 volunteers, provided a very special Christmas celebration to nearly 3,000 homeless and needy men, women, and children.

In addition to a delicious meal; there were free haircuts, articles of clothing were given out, and over 6,000 toys and gifts were given with love to those in great need. Most importantly, over 60 men and women decided to get off the streets and enter one of the life-changing programs.

“ It was so beautiful to see people being blessed. This was my first time of serving and I can tell you it was really touching. The kids and parents were so thankful for the meals and gifts. This is what Christmas is all about - blessing others. ”

Veronica, Volunteer Server

“ Wow. My wife and I are so thankful that we will be able to have some gifts for our children. We've been going through some hard times and this really helps. When we get back on our feet, we want to be part of next year's celebration and help someone. ”

Danny, Christmas Guest

So many generous people and companies came together to make the Outreach very special. We can't do all that we do without our supporters, volunteers, and partners in the community.

“ All this is done to let our homeless and hungry know they are not forgotten and there is hope for a future. ”

Rev. Ronald Brummitt President

Special thanks to all of our wonderful supporters, volunteers, donors and special sponsors.
